Stimulus plan full of pet projects


The editor:

Well, I suppose every one has heard about the $ 787 billion stimulus plan. That sure will give our children and grandchildren a lifetime to get paid back. This is just a start to how many billion more will be added to this package in two to three years. There isn’t very much in there to put people back to work, so there will have to be more money to get it started and more to keep it going.

Then just how much do you think you will get? I don’t hear anything about the seniors getting anything when they are holding up the country, giving people jobs to take care of them. The money will be spent on pet projects that don’t help anyone. Since so many did a lot of Bush bashing, maybe they wish they had him back before four years is finished? I wish you good luck.
